SUMMARY:Re-engage and Renew Forum - Orange

In 2020\, he was named Australian Father of the Year by The Shepherd Centre and then 2021 NSW Australian of the Year. The Commissioner will explain how Resilience NSW ensures communities devastated by drought\, bushfires\, floods and now COVID-19 are getting the help they need to rebuild and recover. \nJane Probert\, Director of Resolution and Customer Engagement at the Health Care Complaints Commission will speak about the work of the Commission and how they deal with complaints about health service providers in NSW. \nThe Forum will also include sessions on energy affordability and rebates\, with speakers from Financial Counselling Australia\, Australian Energy Regulator and energy providers. \nThe Ombudsman\, Janine Young will round off the Forum by hosting the ‘You Can’t Ask That! Yes\, You Can’ session. \nThe full agenda will be available in coming weeks\, but please RSVP below and feel free to share the event with your networks.

SUMMARY:Tackling child poverty in the wake of COVID-19: Priorities for Australia’s social security and family payments systems
DESCRIPTION:As the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to ramify across communities\, the number of children and families living in poverty is set to escalate. \nBefore the pandemic\, rates of child poverty in Australia were already stubbornly high\, with more than one in six children living below the poverty line. In the 1980s Australia led the world in implementing measures to guard against child poverty\, reducing it by over 30 per cent through reforms to the family payments system. These reforms\, however\, have been steadily unwound over the past two decades\, with a succession of cuts to family payments and decisions to slash social security payments to low-income families. \nThis webinar brings together a panel of speakers to examine child poverty in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic\, with a particular focus on the role of social security and family payments in alleviating child poverty. The webinar will consider some of the key factors contributing to high levels of child poverty in Australia\, the implications of the pandemic-induced recession\, and the political enablers and policy reforms needed to drive a new national effort to tackle child poverty in Australia. \nSpeakers:\n• The Reverend the Honourable Professor Brian Howe AO\n• Professor Miranda Stewart\, Melbourne University Law School\n• Terese Edwards\, National Council of Single Mothers and their Children\n• The Honourable Bronwyn Pike\, CEO of Uniting Vic. Tas\, VIC APW 2020 Co-Chair \nThis webinar will be recorded and uploaded to our website as a captioned video and transcript. \nPlease note\, times are in AEDT.
